Milford on Sea has a dog-friendly picture-postcard beach all year round, with spectacular views to the Isle of Wight, The Needles Lighthouse and across Christchurch Bay to the Purbeck Hill in the distance.
The extensive beachfront promenade on Hurst Road features colourful beach huts, and stretches over four miles from Hurst Castle through to Hordle Cliff beach. There are also lots of dog friendly places to eat, or get a drink, on the seafront and in the nearby village centre, as well as quaint shops to while the time away.
In July 2021 Milford on Sea beach was named the most dog-friendly in Hampshire by Vets Now. The Vets Now '50 best (and safest) beaches in the UK for dogs' guide provides a comprehensive review of pet-friendly beaches. The recommendations were chosen after taking into account: parking and access, water quality deemed high, dogs are welcome all year, and that a Vets Now pet emergency service is within driving distance.
Milford on Sea beach was also recognised for cleanliness and the facilities on offer.

Situated on the Hampshire coast at the foot of the New Forest National Park, this pebble beach with a sandy waters edge is highly popular with dog lovers.
There are also spectacular views across to The Needles, the Isle of Wight, Christchurch Bay, and a great family walk from the beach along Hurst Spit to Hurst Castle. There are also a couple of cafés, an ice cream kiosk, a hotel, and a kids’ play area next to the beach, and it is only a shot walk to the village centre and the quaint village shops, traditional pubs, fish & chips and quality restaurants.
There are also plenty of 'dog bins' to keep the beach clean, and responsible owners are always welcome.
